Although James had no formal training as a dressmaker, he created strikingly original and complex designs, including intricate ball gowns worn by members of high society in New York and Europe. This lavishly illustrated book offers a comprehensive study of James' life and work, highlighting his virtuosity and inventiveness as well as his influence on subsequent fashion designers. Featuring exciting new photography of the spectacular evening dresses James produced between 1947 and 1955, this publication includes enlightening details of these intricate creations alongside vintage photographs and rarely seen archival items, such as patterns, muslins, dress forms and sketches. A detailed and illustrated chronology of James' life describes his magnetic personality, his unorthodox design processes, his colourful supporters - such as Salvador Dali, Elsa Schiaparelli, Christian Dior, and Cristobal Balenciaga - and profiles of a number of his famous clients, such as Gypsy Rose Lee. 505 0 $a Introduction / by Harold Koda -- Metamorphology: the personal and professional life of Charles James / by Jan Glier Reeder -- The calculus of fashion: process and oeuvre / by Harold Koda -- Inherent vice: challenges and conservation / by Sarah Scaturro and Glenn Petersen. 600 10 $a James, Charles, $d 1906-1978 $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Fashion designers $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Fashion $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Women's clothing $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 610 20 $a Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.) $v Exhibitions. 700 1 $a James, Charles, $d 1906-1978. 700 1 $a Reeder, Jan Glier, $e author. 700 1 $a Scaturro, Sarah, $e writer of supplementary textual content. 700 1 $a Petersen, Glenn, $e writer of supplementary textual content. 700 1 $a Rucci, Ralph, $e writer of supplementary textual content. 710 2 $a Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.), $e host institution. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802015756.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211021320.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=15BA7FB61D3311E4AFEA258CDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
